Elliot turns 1


Elliot's 1st birthday was on September 1st.  He's getting to be such a big boy! At his well check he weighed 21 lbs 12 oz and was 29 inches tall (but the doctor thought that measurement was off, she thinks he's longer). That puts him in the 32nd percentile for weight and the 26th percentile for length.  He has slimmed down quite a bit since he started crawling around about a month ago.  He loves to dance and listen to singing or the radio.  Elliot likes to play peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake.  He loves to play with his sisters and is starting to pull himself up to everything.  I've had to start doing the dishes when he's asleep or in his highchair because if the dishwasher is open, he will pull himself up and grab the dishes.  He loves food and prefers to feed himself so I'm trying to find foods that I can just give him that he can eat himself.
 
 On Elliot's birthday, we had my sister and her men over for the celebration.
 The birthday boy!

Time for the party game.  Put the cookie in Cookie Monster's mouth.



 So excited for cake!




 I think he liked it.

Elliot had a really fun time on his birthday.  I can't believe he has been a part of our family for a year now!  I sure love my sweet boy!
